I think this behavior started occurring when the Bookport software was
updated so that if you were at the end of a book and pressed the read
key, the Bookport would start riding from the beginning of the book.
Maybe this has always been the case though - I'm not sure.
Anyway, go through these steps:
1. Enter a search string (either from the braille keyboard or
marking the text).
2. If you are in the beginning or middle of a book, you can use the
8+9 and 7+8 keys to find the next and previous occurrences of the text.
3. Now, hold down the 3 key for one beep to get to the end of a
book.
4. Press the 7+8 key to find the previous occurrence of the text
string in the book (in this case, this would be the last time the text
occurred in the book). You will find that the search backward function
does not work in this case.
Presumably, once you move to the end of the book with the 3 key held
down for one beep, the pointer must be changed to point to the beginning
of the book. So, is there a way to search backward from the end of the
book?
